Shrek - Featuring the Cardcaptors - Chapter Five - What Is She…?
~* ^_^ *~ Hey wassap? I've had this chapter ready for a while but Fanfiction was expering technical difficulties so I couldn't upload it! Oh well, it's done!
Sakura came out of the cave she had slept in for the night. The sun was up and shining. Sakura looked over at Kero and Li who were still asleep. Sakura decided not to wake them up so she went for a small walk in the woods. Sakura felt like a princess from a fairytale. She danced around in the woods as she came across a bird's nest. Sakura spun over towards it then she and the robin began to sing.
" Ahahaha, ahahaha, ahahahahahaha." Sakura sang.[I don't know how to put it in, but most of you have seen the movie so you know how it goes! ]
The bird got up and flew to a branch above it's nest and finished the chord.
"Ahahaha. " Sakura sang and the bird sang the same.
" Ahahah." Sakura sang in a higher tone and the bird sang the same.
" Ahahaha! " Sakura sang even higher and the bird copied.
" Ahahahaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! " Sakura sang in a really high pitched tone.
The bird tried to sing in the same pitch as Sakura sang the same high-pitched note. The bird began to swell up like a balloon and its eyes began to bulge out of its head. Sakura continued to sing but then stopped and jumped back when the bird exploded.
Sakura looked up as feathers flew around. The only thing that was left of the bird was its feet, which tips were sizzling. She looked around hopping no one had seen her, then she looked at the nest. Inside where three eggs. She took the eggs back to where Li and Kero were still sleeping then she cooked them over a fire.
Li awoke to the scent of fried eggs as Kero kept dreaming. Li looked up over at Sakura who was cooking the eggs.
" Yeah you know I like it like that! " Kero mumbled in his sleep.
Li looked at Kero who was sleeping practically upside down
" Oh c'mon baby! C'mon I said I like it! " Kero mumbled
" Kero! Wake up! " Li said grabbing Kero's mouth then shook it.
" Huh? What? " Kero asked
" Wake up! " Li said
" Morning! " Sakura said.
Li and Kero looked over at her. Sakura looked at the eggs.
" Umm, how do you like your eggs? " She asked
" Oh! Good morning princess! " Kero said jumping up then floating in mid-air
" What's all this about?" Li asked
" You know. We kind got off to a bad start yesterday! And…I wanted to make it up to you! " Sakura said standing up and walking over to Kero and Li and putting the eggs down in front of them " I mean after all, you did rescue me! "
" Uh… thanks! " Li said
Kero sniffed the eggs then licked his lips.
" Well eat up! We got a big day ahead of us! " Sakura said cheerfully as she walked off a bit.
Li and Kero looked at each which an expression of whats-the-sudden-aditude-adjustment-for? Then they looked at Sakura again.
Li and Kero ate the eggs then they began to go on their way. They were walking in the woods when Li let out a loud burp.
" Li! " Kero yelled
" What it's a compliment! Better out then in I always say! " Li told them then chuckled
" Well it's no way to behave in front of a princess! " Kero hissed.
Sakura stopped then put her fist up to her hand and burped, even louder than Li. Li and Kero stopped dead in their tracks and starred in amazement at her.
" Thanks! " she said then began to walk again.
" She's as nasty as you are! " Kero said as Li chuckled.
" You know, you're not exactly what I expected! " Li said looking at Sakura.
" Well," Sakura said stopping then turning around " Maybe you shouldn't judge people before you get to know them! "
Li was surprised, that was the same thing that he had said last night. Sakura simply turned around and kept walking. She started humming her song.
" La libertere! " A man yelled who swung down and swooped Sakura off the ground " Hey!"
" Princess! " Li yelled running forward.
The man brought Sakura up to a large tree branch.
" What? What are you doing? " Sakura asked the man getting out of his grasp.
" Ah! Be still mon cherie for I am your savior! And I am rescuing you from this green..." the man said then began to kiss Sakura's arm. "…Beast! "
" Ugh! " Sakura said disgusted pulling her arm away.
" Hey! That's my princess! Go find your own! " Li yelled running up to the tree
" Ah please monster! Can't you see I am a little BUSY here? " The man asked.
Sakura got pissed off. She shoved the man
" Look pal! I don't know who you think you are…" she began
" Ah! Of course how rude alala! Please let me introduce myself! OH MERRY MEN! " The man said then chuckled.
A man with an accordion came out of a tree as some bushes changed places he began to play music.
" TRADALALATAHA! Hoo! " Five men chanted as they hopped out from behind the bushes.
" I steal from the rich and give to the needy! " The man said tossing a small apple to Kero who caught it in his mouth.
" He takes a wee percentage! " This skinny man said.
" But I'm not greedy! I rescue pretty damsels man I'm good! " The man said.
" All the time! Mister hood! " The five man sang
" Take it down! " Mister Hood said.
The five men began to do Irish dancing along with Mister Hood.
" I like it a little spite from a saucy little maid! " Mister Hood said.
Li rolled his eyes and shook his head. He looked up at Sakura; she shrugged not knowing what to do.
" What he's actually saying is he likes to get…" The five men said as they made a circle.
" Hey! " Master hood yelled interrupting them.
" So! " The five men said as they formed a star around him
" When a wizard in the bush got the lady by the toosh! That's bad! " Master hood said
" That's bad! That's bad! That's bad! " Three of the men said.
" When a beauty's with a beast it makes me awfully mad! " Mister Hood said snapping as he and his men advanced.
" He's mad! He's mad! He's really really mad! " The five men said also snapping and advancing.
" I will take my blade and ram it through your heart! " Mister Hood said pulling out his blade and pointing it at Li
Sakura gasped as Li backed up as they all advanced on him.
" Keep your eyes on me boys! Cause I'm about to start…." Mister Hood sang then when was kicked away.
He slammed into a rock and was knocked out. Sakura spun through the air then landed between the five men and Li. She gasped for air in a pissed off manner.
" Man that was annoying! " She said.
" Oh! You little! " One of the men said as he pulled out his bow and arrow and shot it at her.
Sakura dodged the arrow
" Wow! " Kero yelled as he jumped into Li's arms as he dodged it as well, then it hit a tree.
Sakura flipped over to the man who shot the arrow she punched him continuously before he could reach another arrow knocking him out also. A man ran up behind her, but Sakura elbowed him in the gut and then punched him in the facethen whipped him in the face with her hair knocking him out too. Two men charged at her. Sakura jumped up in mid air and got ready to kick. But then froze time and pulled back her hair. When she finished she put time back and kicked both men in the face. The man with the accordion came after her, Sakura ran away then ran up a tree and jumped behind the man. Then man turned around then put the accordion up at his face. Sakura punched through the accordion and knocked the guy out so the music stopped, then the last guy ran behind her and charged. Sakura jumped up and did a spinning kick, knocking the final guy out. She stopped in a fighter's pose and looked around. She casually walked over to Li and Kero, after stepping on a guy.
Li and Kero starred at her in shock. Sakura laughed nervously.
" Um... shall we? " she asked then walked off.
" All the fun! " Li muttered as he dropped Kero and followed her.
Kero landed with a big " Oof! "
" Oh wowwowwow! Hold on now! Where did that come from? " Li asked as he caught up with Sakura.
" What? " she asked not knowing.
" That! Back there that was amazing! " Li said.
Sakura blushed slightly.
" Where did you learn that? " Li asked.
" Well, when one lives alone," Sakura said as she walked around. " Uh… One has to learn these things in case there's…"
" There's an arrow in your butt! " She yelled pointing to Li's butt.
" What? Oh would you look at that! " Li said looking behind him.
" Oh no this is all my fault I'm so sorry! " Sakura said as Li winced as he touched the arrow and Kero came onto the scene.
" Why what's wrong?" Kero asked.
" Li's hurt! " Sakura said.
" Li's hurt? " Kero said panicky jumping around. " Li's hurt?! Oh no Li's gonna die! "
" Kero! I'm okay! " Li assured him.
" Oh no! You can't do this to me Li I'm too young for you to die! " Kero said as Sakura sighed and Li rolled his eyes. " Keep your legs elevated! Turn your head and call! Does any one know the hiemlech?! "
" Kero! Calm down! " Sakura said grabbing him " If you want to help Li, run into the woods and find me a blue flower with red thorns! "
"Blue flower, red thorns! Okay I'm on it! " Kero said then began to fly off then turned around " Blue flower, red thorns! Blue flower, red thorns! Don't die Li! And if you see a long tunnel, stay away from the light! "
" Kero! " Li and Sakura yelled
" Oh yeah, right! Blue flower, red thorns! Blue flower, red thorns! " Kero said then flew off.
" What are the flowers for? " Li asked.
" For getting rid of Kero! " Sakura told him
" Ah! " Li said understanding perfectly then grinned.
" Now you hold still and I'll yank this thing out! " Sakura said then yanked it.
" Ow! " Li yelled turning around " Hey! Easy with the yanking! "
" I'm sorry! " Sakura said " But…but it has to come out! Now let me…"
" No! No it's tender… " Li said moving away
" Now hold on… " Sakura said chasing after him trying to grab the arrow
" Now, what you're doing is the opposite of help…"
" Don't move!…"
" Okay look! Look! Time out! " Li said turning around and stopping Sakura by putting his hand over her face.
" Would you…Ugh!" Sakura said under the hand then pulled it off and stood up. " Okay, what do you propose we do? "
Meanwhile Kero was walking around in the woods right in the middle of a patch of blue flowers that had red thorns.
" Blue flower, red thorns! Blue flower, red thorns! Blue flower, red thorns! This would be so much easier if I wasn't COLORBLIND! " Kero said frustrated. " Blue flower, red thorns! Blue flower, red thorns! …"
" OW! " Li yelled way off but Kero could hear it.
" Hold on Li I'm coming! " Kero yelled.
Kero looked around then grabbed a blue flower with red thorns not knowing that though. He ran off back to Li and Sakura
" OW! Not good! " Li said.
Li was on his stomach as Sakura was slowly pulling out the arrow.
" Okay! … No Okay! I can…" Sakura said.
" Oohhh…" Li groaned.
" …No it's just about…" Sakura said then pulled at the arrow.
" OW! " Li yelled then turned over, causing Sakura to fall right on top of him.
They looked at each other in surprise, then gasped and looked over at Kero who had just got there and cleared his throat. He had brought the flowers. He grinned at them.
" Nothing happened! " Li said then pushed Sakura off roughly. " We were just, uh…."
" Look if you wanted to be alone all you had to do was ask! Okay? " Kero said hinting that he knew something.
" Oh come on! That's the last thing on my mind! " Li said as Sakura sat up " The princess here was just trying to…UAGHHHH!! "
Li had yelled because Sakura had gotten impatient so she just yanked out the arrow. Li wasn't expecting this and it really hurt.
Li looked at Sakura she waved the arrow.
" …Oww…. " Li gasped
" Hey what's that? Heheh! That's…is that blood? Ohhhh…" Kero said nervously then flew down unconscious.
Sakura rushed to Kero's side. Li sighed then went over and picked him up. He put Kero into one of his pockets in his green robe then helped Sakura up, then they just walked off.
Li and Sakura traveled a lot. Kero eventually woke up, but Li and Sakura almost ignored him. They were lost in each other.
They had to cross a river at one point, there was no bridge so Li climbed up to the top and pulled it down. Sakura crossed it, but near the end she stumbled purposely and put her hand on Li's back, Li smiled then got up, totally forgetting about Kero and letting the tree go sending Kero flying back to the other side.
" Whoa! " Kero said as he flew through the air
Kero got to the other side anyway and caught up with Li and Sakura. They were walking in a field that was filed with insects and Li wasn't too thrilled about it. The bugs were always going at his face and he was always waving them away but they kept coming back. Sakura ran ahead and grabbed two sticks that had a spider's web between them. Sakura ran around Li, collecting the bugs as she ran around him. Eventually she had all the bugs in the web, she put the sticks together and handed it to Li. Li smiled and took it, then he began to eat it.
They continued on, later Li caught a bullfrog and blew it up and tied it to a string for Sakura. Sakura went to take it but heard a hissing behind her; she turned around and saw a snake. She grabbed it and blew it up, then she began to bend and tie it. When she was finished it looked like one of those balloons that were shaped like a dog. Sakura tied it to a string then handed it to Li and he handed her the bullfrog. They walked off. Sakura gently pushed Li aside. Li then pushed Sakura away roughly. Sakura got mad then shoved him. Li simply shoved her into a bush, laughed then ran away. Sakura jumped out of the bush and threw a rock at him and hit him on the head.
Later they arrived at a windmill in sight of Duloc. Li and Sakura were arm in arm.
" There it is princess, your future! " Li said a bit sad.
" That's Duloc? " Sakura asked.
" Yeah I know! " Kero said flying in the middle of them, breaking their grasp. " You know Li says Lord Eli's compensating for something! Which I think means he has a really … "
Li pushed Kero down then stepped on him.
" Oww! " Kero yelled as he went down.
" I uh…. I guess we better move on! " Li said then began to go.
" Sure… but um… Li! " Sakura began.
Li stopped then turned around. Kero flew up.
" I'm… I'm worried about Kero! " Sakura said pointing to Kero.
" What? " Li asked then went back.
" I mean look at him! I mean he doesn't look so good! " Sakura said.
" What are you talking about I'm perfectly fine! " Kero said.
" Yeah well that's what they always say then, then next thing you know you're… on your back! " Sakura said bending down and holding Kero's head in her hands.
Kero looked at her strangely. Sakura thought of a better way to describe it.
" …Dead! " She said
Kero gulped.
" You know she's right! You look awful! Do you want to sit down? " Li asked
" Oh you know I'll make you some tea! " Sakura said
" Well I don't want to say anything! But I get this twinge in my neck and when I turn it like this…" Kero said then turned his head sideways then cracked it. " …Ow! See? "
" Who's hungry? " Li asked changing the subject then walked off " I'll go find us some dinner! "
" I'll get the firewood! " Sakura said getting up and walking away.
" Hey where are you going? " Kero asked then lifted his head.
" Oh man I can't feel my toes! " Kero said
He looked down at his feet
" I don't have any toes!! " He yelled waving his arms then floating down and sulking " I think I need a hug! "
Li found some rats to eat and he cooked them over the fire that Sakura had made. Sakura was sitting on a log as the sun was slowly setting as she ate the rat on a stick.
"Mmmm… this is good! " She said, " This is really good! What is it? "
" A weed rat! Rotisserie style! " Li said taking another stick with the rats on it.
" No kidding! " Sakura said as Li sat down " Well, this is delicious! "
" Well they're also good in stews! Know I don't like to brag! But I make a mean, weed rat stew! " Li said.
Sakura laughed as she wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. She sighed when she looked at Eli's castle.
" I guess I'll be dining a little differently tomorrow night! " she sighed.
Li thought for a second
" Maybe… you could come and visit me in the swamp some time!" He said " I'll cook all kinds of stuff for you! Swamp toad soup! Fish eyed tar-tar! You name it! "
Sakura smiled at Li as he put a rat in his mouth, leaving the tail hanging out of his mouth.
" I'd like that! " she said.
Li slurped the tail up then chuckled nervously. Sakura looked to the side then back at Li. Li looked at her.
" Umm… Princess…" Li began
" Yes, Li? " Sakura asked quietly
Li got nervous.
" Umm… I was wondering… are you…*sighs* Are you going to eat that? " He asked then pointed to the rat on Sakura's stick.
Sakura smiled as she pulled off the rat. Li made a fist and muttered something something to himself. Sakura handed the rat to Li. Their hands touched, they both looked at each other then began to lean in to each other.
" Wow! Isn't this romantic? " Kero asked jumping up between them destroying any romance what-so-ever. " Just look at that sunset! "
Li and Sakura looked at the sun. Sakura gasped.
" Sunset?! Oh no!! " Sakura yelled jumping up. " It's late! It's very late! "
" What? " Li asked.
" Wait a minute! I see what's going on here! " Kero said.
Sakura looked at him scared.
" You're afraid of the dark aren't you? " Kero said then smiled.
" Yes. Yes that's, that's it I'm terrified! I… You know I better go inside." Sakura said then headed for the windmill sighing with relief.
" Don't worry I used to be afraid of the dark too! Until… no wait! I'm still afraid of the dark! " Kero said.
Li rolled his eyes. Sakura smiled slightly then sighed.
" Good night! " she said then began to go in.
" Good night! " Li said not knowing what the point in saying it was.
Kero looked at Li then up at Sakura thinking he knew what was going no.
Sakura looked at Li then went inside.
" Ohhh! Now I really see what's going on! " Kero said then walked off.
" Oh what are you talking about? " Li asked
" Look I don't even want to hear about it! I'm an animal and I got instinks and I know that you two were digging on each other!" Kero said, " I could feel it! "
" Oh you're crazy! I'm just bringing her back to Eli! " Li said as he fiddled with a stick.
Kero didn't believe him one bit.
" Oh come on Li wake up and smell the pheromones! Just go in there and tell her how you feel! " Kero said
" I…Ugh! There's nothing to tell! " And even if I did tell her that…well… you know! And I'm not saying that I do! Cause I don't! She's a princess and I'm…" Li said standing up and looking at the windmill.
" A wizard? " Kero finished
Li tossed the stick away angrily.
" Yeah, a wizard! " He said then walked off.
" Hey! Where are you going? " Kero asked
" To get..." Li began then kicked a rock " more firewood! "
Kero looked at the huge pile of firewood then over at Li. Li walked over to this hill that was ahead of this field of sunflowers. He sat down there and stayed there for a long time.
It was dark, Li hadn't come back and Kero was a little spooked so he entered the windmill. It was dark inside there too.
" Princess…princess Sakura! " Kero said as he came in.
" Princess where are you?" Kero asked scared then gasped as some birds flew up to the roof.
" Princess…" Kero said again
Someone was in there the person slowly climbed up the ladder, it creaked and scared Kero.
" It is very spooky in here I don't like playing no games! " Kero said really spooked now
Whoever was in there was now on a wooden ledge behind Kero, the person meant to sneak by him but they fell right trough the wood. Kero practically jumped out of his fur as he turned around. The person stood up, whoever it was was wearing witch and wizard clothes.
" AHHHHHH!! " Kero yelled.
" No! No! It's okay! " The person said who sounded exactly like Sakura and looked like Sakura except for the strange markings on her face.
" Oh No! No! Help! " Kero yelled backing up
" Shhh! " She said
" Li! Li! " Kero yelled
" No Kero it's me! ' She said
" What did you do to princess?! " Kero asked
" No Kero I'm the Princess! " She said
" Ahhh! " Kero yelled
" It's me! In this body! " She said
" Oh my god you ate the princess! " Kero yelled then yelled at her stomach " Can you hear me princess? "
" Kero! " She yelled
" Listen! Keep, breathing! I'll get you out of there! LI! LI! Li…." Kero yelled then the girl grabbed his mouth to quiet him down
" Shhh! This is me! " She said quietly rubbing the side of Kero's face
Kero was mumbling something then stopped. It WAS Sakura, she was a witch. Sakura smiled sheepishly as she took her hands off Kero's face.
" Princess!? Kero asked surprised " What happened to you? You're uh…uh… different! "
" I'm ugly okay?! " Sakura yelled turning around
" Yeah well, was it something you ate? Cause I told Li those rats were a bad idea! You are what you eat I said! " Kero said
" No! " Sakura said, " I… I've been this way for as long as I can remember! "
" What do you mean? Look I ain't never seen you like this before! " Kero said
" It only happens when the sun goes down! " Sakura said standing near a barrel.
She looked into the reflecting of the water and recited.
By night one way
By day another
This shall be the norm
Until you find true loves first kiss
Then, take true love's true from
Sakura looked away
" Oh that's beautiful. " Kero said, " I didn't know you wrote poetry! "
" It's a spell! " Sakura said " When I was a little girl, a witch cast a spell on me"
Kero looked at Sakura surprised.
" Every night I become this! " Sakura said disgusted looking at her reflection as she touched the markings on her face.
" This horrible ugly beast! " She yelled then tossed some of the water
The water splashed over Kero, Kero shook the water as Sakura sat on one of the mills.
" I was placed in a tower to await the day my true love would rescue me! That's why I have to marry Lord Eli tomorrow before he sees me! *Sighs*…like this." Sakura said then began to cry.
" Alright, alright! Calm down it's not that bad! You're' not that ugly! Well, I'm lying you are ugly! " Kero said as he flew up beside her " But you only look like this at night! Li's ugly 24-7! "
" But Kero! I'm a princess! And this is not how a princess is meant to look! " Sakura said then buried her face in her hands.
" Princess, how about you don't marry Eli? " Kero asked
" I have to! " Sakura said taking her face out of her hands " Only my true loves kiss can break the spell! "
" Well you know umm… you're kind of a female wizard and, Li! Well you got a lot in common! " Kero said
" Li? " Sakura asked confused
Meanwhile Li had come back. He had a sunflower in his hands and was wondering what to say to Sakura
" Hey Princess, um… how's it going? First of all? " Li asked himself " Okay? Good! Good for me too! Umm... I saw this flower and I thought of you because it's pretty! And well…I don't really like it! But I thought you might! Cause, you're pretty! But I like you anyway! And I uh…I'm in trouble! Okay! Here it goes! "
Li went up the stairs, he went to knock, but then he heard Sakura talking to someone so he listened in.
" Really Kero, who could love a beast so hideous and ugly? " He heard Sakura said, " that's why I can't stay here with Li "
That part hurt Li.
" The only way I can live happily ever after is to marry my true love! " Sakura said as Li leaned against the door and looked at the flower. " Don't you see Kero, that's just the way it has to be! "
Li stormed off, throwing the flower.
" It's the only way to break the spell! " Sakura told Kero
" Well you at least got to tell Li the truth! " Kero said floating up then headed for the door.
" No! No you can't breathe a word! " Sakura said jumping up " No one must ever know! "
" What's the point in being able to talk if you gotta keep secrets? " Kero asked annoyed
" Promise you won't tell! " Sakura ordered " Promise!"
" Alright! Alright! I won't tell! " Kero said " But you should! "
Kero went outside and went down the steps
" Before this is all over I'm gonna need a whole lot of serious therapy! Look at my eye twitching! " Kero said as his eye twitched.
Sakura poked her head out and looked around, then she looked down and saw the flower Li had dropped, she looked around, then grinned as she went inside.
Kero went over to the fire; he spun around twice then curled up and fell asleep.
